Matthew 9

The Message Bible MSG

1 Back in the boat, Jesus and the disciples recrossed the sea to Jesus' hometown.

2 They were hardly out of the boat when some men carried a paraplegic on a stretcher and set him down in front of them. Jesus, impressed by their bold belief, said to the paraplegic, "Cheer up, son. I forgive your sins."

3 Some religion scholars whispered, "Why, that's blasphemy!"

4 Jesus knew what they were thinking, and said, "Why this gossipy whispering?

5 Which do you think is simpler: to say, 'I forgive your sins,' or, 'Get up and walk'?

6 Well, just so it's clear that I'm the Son of Man and authorized to do either, or both. . . ." At this he turned to the paraplegic and said, "Get up. Take your bed and go home."

7 And the man did it.

8 The crowd was awestruck, amazed and pleased that God had authorized Jesus to work among them this way.

9 Passing along, Jesus saw a man at his work collecting taxes. His name was Matthew. Jesus said, "Come along with me." Matthew stood up and followed him.

10 Later when Jesus was eating supper at Matthew's house with his close followers, a lot of disreputable characters came and joined them.

11 When the Pharisees saw him keeping this kind of company, they had a fit, and lit into Jesus' followers. "What kind of example is this from your Teacher, acting cozy with crooks and riff-raff?"

12 Jesus, overhearing, shot back, "Who needs a doctor: the healthy or the sick?

13 Go figure out what this Scripture means: 'I'm after mercy, not religion.' I'm here to invite outsiders, not coddle insiders."

14 A little later John's followers approached, asking, "Why is it that we and the Pharisees rigorously discipline body and spirit by fasting, but your followers don't?"

15 Jesus told them, "When you're celebrating a wedding, you don't skimp on the cake and wine. You feast. Later you may need to pull in your belt, but not now. No one throws cold water on a friendly bonfire. This is Kingdom Come!"

16 He went on, "No one cuts up a fine silk scarf to patch old work clothes; you want fabrics that match.

17 And you don't put your wine in cracked bottles."

18 As he finished saying this, a local official appeared, bowed politely, and said, "My daughter has just now died. If you come and touch her, she will live."

19 Jesus got up and went with him, his disciples following along.

20 Just then a woman who had hemorrhaged for twelve years slipped in from behind and lightly touched his robe.

21 She was thinking to herself, "If I can just put a finger on his robe, I'll get well." Jesus turned - caught her at it. Then he reassured her: "Courage, daughter. You took a risk of faith, and now you're well."

22 The woman was well from then on.

23 By now they had arrived at the house of the town official, and pushed their way through the gossips looking for a story and the neighbors bringing in casseroles.

24 Jesus was abrupt: "Clear out! This girl isn't dead. She's sleeping." They told him he didn't know what he was talking about.

25 But when Jesus had gotten rid of the crowd, he went in, took the girl's hand, and pulled her to her feet - alive.

26 The news was soon out, and traveled throughout the region.

27 As Jesus left the house, he was followed by two blind men crying out, "Mercy, Son of David! Mercy on us!"

28 When Jesus got home, the blind men went in with him. Jesus said to them, "Do you really believe I can do this?" They said, "Why, yes, Master!"

29 He touched their eyes and said, "Become what you believe."

30 It happened. They saw. Then Jesus became very stern. "Don't let a soul know how this happened."

31 But they were hardly out the door before they started blabbing it to everyone they met.

32 Right after that, as the blind men were leaving, a man who had been struck speechless by an evil spirit was brought to Jesus.

33 As soon as Jesus threw the evil tormenting spirit out, the man talked away just as if he'd been talking all his life. The people were up on their feet applauding: "There's never been anything like this in Israel!"

34 The Pharisees were left sputtering, "Hocus pocus. It's nothing but hocus pocus. He's probably made a pact with the Devil."

35 Then Jesus made a circuit of all the towns and villages. He taught in their meeting places, reported kingdom news, and healed their diseased bodies, healed their bruised and hurt lives.

36 When he looked out over the crowds, his heart broke. So confused and aimless they were, like sheep with no shepherd.

37 "What a huge harvest!" he said to his disciples. "How few workers!

38 On your knees and pray for harvest hands!"

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 et ascendens in naviculam transfretavit et venit in civitatem suam

2 et ecce offerebant ei paralyticum iacentem in lecto et videns Iesus fidem illorum dixit paralytico confide fili remittuntur tibi peccata tua

3 et ecce quidam de scribis dixerunt intra se hic blasphemat

4 et cum vidisset Iesus cogitationes eorum dixit ut quid cogitatis mala in cordibus vestris

5 quid est facilius dicere dimittuntur tibi peccata aut dicere surge et ambula

6 ut sciatis autem quoniam Filius hominis habet potestatem in terra dimittendi peccata tunc ait paralytico surge tolle lectum tuum et vade in domum tuam

7 et surrexit et abiit in domum suam

8 videntes autem turbae timuerunt et glorificaverunt Deum qui dedit potestatem talem hominibus

9 et cum transiret inde Iesus vidit hominem sedentem in teloneo Mattheum nomine et ait illi sequere me et surgens secutus est eum

10 et factum est discumbente eo in domo ecce multi publicani et peccatores venientes discumbebant cum Iesu et discipulis eius

11 et videntes Pharisaei dicebant discipulis eius quare cum publicanis et peccatoribus manducat magister vester

12 at Iesus audiens ait non est opus valentibus medico sed male habentibus

13 euntes autem discite quid est misericordiam volo et non sacrificium non enim veni vocare iustos sed peccatores

14 tunc accesserunt ad eum discipuli Iohannis dicentes quare nos et Pharisaei ieiunamus frequenter discipuli autem tui non ieiunant

15 et ait illis Iesus numquid possunt filii sponsi lugere quamdiu cum illis est sponsus venient autem dies cum auferetur ab eis sponsus et tunc ieiunabunt

16 nemo autem inmittit commissuram panni rudis in vestimentum vetus tollit enim plenitudinem eius a vestimento et peior scissura fit

17 neque mittunt vinum novum in utres veteres alioquin rumpuntur utres et vinum effunditur et utres pereunt sed vinum novum in utres novos mittunt et ambo conservantur

18 haec illo loquente ad eos ecce princeps unus accessit et adorabat eum dicens filia mea modo defuncta est sed veni inpone manum super eam et vivet

19 et surgens Iesus sequebatur eum et discipuli eius

20 et ecce mulier quae sanguinis fluxum patiebatur duodecim annis accessit retro et tetigit fimbriam vestimenti eius

21 dicebat enim intra se si tetigero tantum vestimentum eius salva ero

22 at Iesus conversus et videns eam dixit confide filia fides tua te salvam fecit et salva facta est mulier ex illa hora

23 et cum venisset Iesus in domum principis et vidisset tibicines et turbam tumultuantem

24 dicebat recedite non est enim mortua puella sed dormit et deridebant eum

25 et cum eiecta esset turba intravit et tenuit manum eius et surrexit puella

26 et exiit fama haec in universam terram illam

27 et transeunte inde Iesu secuti sunt eum duo caeci clamantes et dicentes miserere nostri Fili David

28 cum autem venisset domum accesserunt ad eum caeci et dicit eis Iesus creditis quia possum hoc facere vobis dicunt ei utique Domine

29 tunc tetigit oculos eorum dicens secundum fidem vestram fiat vobis

30 et aperti sunt oculi illorum et comminatus est illis Iesus dicens videte ne quis sciat

31 illi autem exeuntes diffamaverunt eum in tota terra illa

32 egressis autem illis ecce obtulerunt ei hominem mutum daemonium habentem

33 et eiecto daemone locutus est mutus et miratae sunt turbae dicentes numquam paruit sic in Israhel

34 Pharisaei autem dicebant in principe daemoniorum eicit daemones

35 et circumibat Iesus civitates omnes et castella docens in synagogis eorum et praedicans evangelium regni et curans omnem languorem et omnem infirmitatem

36 videns autem turbas misertus est eis quia erant vexati et iacentes sicut oves non habentes pastorem

37 tunc dicit discipulis suis messis quidem multa operarii autem pauci

38 rogate ergo dominum messis ut eiciat operarios in messem suam
